Description

Once again, this was SUPPOSED to be part of a much larger sequence, taken from Myst The Book of Atrus. However, I got distracted by another project, as usual. So here's all I finished. Took a heck of a lotta time though, several days. And for only a four measely seconds. I guess that's 2D animation for ya. I apologize for the rather quick and crappy coloring job, but color was supposed to make the mood more apparent.

About that mood . . . this is the part of the book where Atrus has just spoken to his father in fluent D'ni, the language his father had just spent the last three months teaching him. Atrus spoke out of anger, pain . . . and he looks defiantly at his father as he does it. He realizes what he's done, and how much freakin trouble he's going to be in. He looks down contemplating this briefly and timidly looks back up to see his father.

It's kind of a weird scene to have standing alone . . . without the actually spoken D'ni beforehand, or the scene where his fther get's really pissed off afterward. The latter was the one I had intended to do . . . but I just decided, on a whim, to start with the Atrus scene, and here we are. I'd love to do the Gehn scene, but I'd need a good voice actor. . .
